[0041] The following experiments, where no temperature is specified, are reactions conducted at room temperature, which is 25±5°C.

[0042] Example 1: Method for Identifying Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization Probes for Salvia miltiorrhiza Chromosomes

[0043] 1. Experimental Methods

[0044] 1) Based on the Salvia miltiorrhiza genome data, the TAREAN pipeline within the Repeat Explorer pipeline was used to assemble, analyze, and annotate repetitive sequences in the Sichuan and Shandong Salvia miltiorrhiza genomes (identifying sequences with repeat counts exceeding 0.01% of the total genome content). This analysis ultimately revealed the composition and content of repetitive sequences within the genomes. Comparative genomic analysis of the Sichuan and Shandong Salvia miltiorrhiza genomes was performed using Repeat Explorer. Sequence assembly, consistency analysis, and annotation were performed to determine the repeat count, length, and type of species-specific / enriched repetitive sequences. Repeat sequences unique to the Salvia miltiorrhiza genome were identified and named SC06, SC20, SC209, and SC288. 45rDNA and 5sDNA sequences were selected from the existing Salvia miltiorrhiza rDNA database.

[0045] The sequence of SC06 is shown in SEQ ID No: 1, the sequence of SC20 is shown in SEQ ID No: 2, the sequence of SC209 is shown in SEQ ID No: 3, and the sequence of SC288 is shown in SEQ ID No: 4; the sequence of 45rDNA is shown in SEQ ID No: 5, and the sequence of 5sDNA is shown in SEQ ID No: 6.

[0046] 2) PCR amplification was performed using primers designed for the specific repetitive sequences SC06, SC20, SC209, and SC288, rDNA sequences 45rDNA, and 5sDNA obtained in step 1). After amplification, the band size was determined by agarose gel electrophoresis. After confirmation, the resulting sequence was recovered and stored, and the recovered product was ligated into the pMD19-T plasmid. The reaction was performed using a 20 μL system consisting of: 2 μL 10× NT loading buffer, 2 μL ATTO550 or ATTO488, 2 μL NT loading mix, 2 μL plasmid, and 10 μL ddH2O at 15°C.

[0047] 90 min, 65 °C 10 min labeled as probe.

[0048] 3) Young root tips of Salvia miltiorrhiza seedlings from Sichuan, Shandong, Henan, and Shaanxi were fixed with glacial acetic acid for 10 min, washed 2–3 times with 75% ethanol, and the root tip meristem was cut and enzymatically hydrolyzed at 37°C for 50 min. The reaction was stopped with 75% ethanol and centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 1 min. The precipitate was suspended in 35 μL of glacial acetic acid. 8 μL of the suspension was dropped onto a glass slide and air-dried in a wet box to obtain chromosome preparations.

[0049] 4) Take the probe from step 2) and the chromosome from step 3) and prepare the slides. The slides were fixed with 2×SSC (2 times for 5 minutes each), Carnoy's fixative (10 minutes), 2×SSC (2 times for 5 minutes each), 4% formaldehyde solution, 2×SSC (10 minutes), soaked in gradient alcohol for 1 minute (75%, 85%, 100%), added with the probe, and hybridized in a denaturing oven (90 degrees Celsius for 90 seconds). The slides were incubated overnight, washed in 2×SSC at 57°C for 20 minutes, soaked in gradient alcohol for 1 minute (75%, 85%, 100%), and DAPI was added. The slides were observed under a microscope and photographed. The images were analyzed and processed to screen out four suitable probes: 45S rDNA, 5S rDNA, SC06, and SC20.

[0050] 5) The four screened probes were marked red and green (green probe: 45SrDNA, SC06; red probe: 5SrDNA, SC20), and fluorescence in situ hybridization was performed on the chromosomes of Salvia miltiorrhiza from the four producing areas to analyze the genetic relationship between Salvia miltiorrhiza from the four producing areas.

[0085] 2. Experimental Results

[0086] The fluorescence in situ hybridization images of Salvia miltiorrhiza chromosomes with different sequences were processed and analyzed. The results showed that:

[0087] 45S rDNA( Figure 1 ) signal points are bright dot-like signals, distributed in pairs on the chromosomes, with 4 signal points located on two pairs of chromosomes. Figure 2 ) signal points are similar to those of 45S rDNA, also bright dot-like signals, distributed in pairs on the chromosomes, with four signal points located on two pairs of chromosomes. Figure 3 ) signals are bright dots, mainly distributed at the ends of chromosomes. Figure 4 ) signals are also bright dots, mainly distributed at the ends of the short arms of chromosomes and on the long arms and ends of some chromosomes. Figure 5 ) and SC288( Figure 6 ) The signal points are distributed in a point-like manner, and the signals are complex and weak.

[0088] Among the six probes, the signal points of the four probes, 45S rDNA, 5S rDNA, SC06, and SC20, are relatively bright and clear, and their distribution on the chromosomes is relatively regular, and they can be used as probes for subsequent chromosome analysis.

[0089] The results of fluorescence in situ hybridization of 45S rDNA and 5S rDNA on chromosomes of Salvia miltiorrhiza from different production areas were analyzed. Figure 7 As shown, there is no significant difference in the signal distribution of 45S rDNA (green) and 5S rDNA (red) on the chromosomes of Salvia miltiorrhiza from the four production areas. 45S rDNA is distributed at the end of the short arm of chromosome 1 and the centromere of chromosome 3, while 5S rDNA is distributed at the centromere of chromosome 5 and near the centromere of the short arm of chromosome 8.

[0090] The above results indicate that 45S rDNA and 5S rDNA cannot be used to effectively analyze the relationship between chromosomes of Salvia miltiorrhiza from different production areas.

[0091] The results of fluorescence in situ hybridization of SC06 and SC20 on chromosomes of Salvia miltiorrhiza from different production areas were analyzed. Figure 8 shown.

[0092] 1. The signal of SC06 is bright dot-shaped ( Figure 3 ), a total of 31 signal sites, distributed at both ends of the long and short arms of chromosomes. Except for the end of one of the short arms of chromosome 1, there are signals at the ends of the other chromosomes. Figure 4 ) are bright dot-like signals, with a total of 15 signal sites, 12 of which are located at the ends of the short arms of chromosomes 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, 1 at the near-centromere end of the long arm of one homologous chromosome of chromosome 4, 1 at the near-end of one chromosome of chromosome 6, and 1 at the end of the long arm of one homologous chromosome of chromosome 8. No signal spots are distributed on chromosomes 1 and 3.

[0093] 2. Analysis of fluorescence in situ hybridization signals of Salvia miltiorrhiza chromosomes from four production areas ( Figure 8 ), the SC06 probe is primarily distributed at the chromosome ends, but the number and intensity of signals vary across different regions, with the most significant difference at the short arm end of chromosome 1. In Sichuan Salvia miltiorrhiza, there was no signal at the short arm end of one homologous chromosome of chromosome 1, while in Shandong and Henan Salvia miltiorrhiza, there was no signal at the short arm end of chromosome 1. In Shaanxi Salvia miltiorrhiza, there was signal at the short arm end of chromosome 1.

[0094] The signal distribution of the SC20 probe showed greater variability, especially on chromosomes 3, 4, 6, and 8. The signal distribution patterns of Danshen from Shandong and Henan were essentially the same, but compared to Danshen from Sichuan, there was no signal on chromosome 6, whereas one homologous chromosome on chromosome 6 in Danshen from Sichuan showed a signal near the end of the long arm. In contrast, one homologous chromosome on chromosome 8 in Danshen from Sichuan showed no signal at the end, while Danshen from Shandong and Henan showed signals at the ends of the long arms of chromosome 8. The signal distribution of Danshen from Shaanxi differed most from that of the other three producing areas, with a signal at the end of the short arm of chromosome 3 that was not present in the other producing areas. Furthermore, Danshen from Shaanxi showed signals on the long arm of chromosome 4, on the proximal end of one homologous chromosome on chromosome 6, and on both ends of chromosome 8, with signal intensities significantly higher than those of the other three producing areas.

[0095] These results indicate that the signals from SC06 and SC20 show significant differences between chromosomes of Salvia miltiorrhiza from different production areas, and that SC06 and SC20 are effective for analyzing the relationships between chromosomes of Salvia miltiorrhiza from different production areas. Combined analysis of the signals from both probes revealed that Salvia miltiorrhiza from Shandong and Henan are most closely related; Salvia miltiorrhiza from Sichuan is relatively distantly related to Salvia miltiorrhiza from Shandong and Henan; and Salvia miltiorrhiza from Shaanxi is the most distantly related to the other three production areas.

[0096] In summary, the present invention provides a method for identifying Salvia miltiorrhiza chromosomes using fluorescent in situ hybridization probes. Using specific fluorescent in situ hybridization probes, this method can rapidly identify Salvia miltiorrhiza chromosomes from a primary production area and rapidly analyze the relationships between Salvia miltiorrhiza chromosomes from different production areas. This method is low-cost, fast, and convenient. Compared to other methods, it eliminates the steps of observing Salvia miltiorrhiza phenotypes and measuring active ingredients, and thus has promising application prospects.
